Possibly some of the most dreaded words in the English language: "It's not you, it's me."

One could argue it's not a bad way to be broken up with, certainly better than the opposite: "It's not me, it's you!" But being broken up with is seldom a pain-free experience either way.

If you're estranged from family, or the parent of adult children, the holidays can feel complicated.

You might feel lonely, regretful, or hollow after years or decades of a busy holiday season giving way to silence.

It can seem like everyone around you is making plans with big, extended families, and you're the only one on your own, cut off from the people around you.

One of the hardest parts of recovering from a toxic relationship is what it does to the way you see and think about yourself. There's often a lot of regret. Could you have seen it sooner? Should you have made different choices along the way?

There's a joke that goes, "I saw the red flags, but I thought it was a carnival."

With hindsight, we can usually see exactly where we might have chosen differently. But there's no going back, and that can leave us with self-blame, grief, sadness, and remorse.

As the seasons turn to fall, it seems inevitable that we start thinking about the holiday season. For some people, this is an exciting time filled with decorating and cooking fancy meals.

For many people, it's a challenging time filled with family dynamics like split custody, separation from loved ones, or past memories of hurt or loss.

You know what you need to do. 🤷🏾‍♀️
You might have known for days, weeks, or longer. 😅

And still you find yourself doing anything else: scrolling, reorganizing, responding to emails that don't matter, suddenly becoming very interested in cleaning out a drawer. 🤦‍♀️

Procrastination isn't a time management problem; it's an emotional one. Hypnotherapy for procrastination works where productivity systems have failed.

The leaves are starting to change and the days are getting shorter. Soon autumn will truly be here, and before you know it, holiday season, with its own set of joys, gratitude, challenges, and mixed emotions.

I'll be hosting an online event next month: hypnosis for the holiday season.

It's a topic near and dear to my heart; comment or message me if you'd like the link with more details!

When I trained in IEMT, I was already a practicing hypnotherapist. I had worked with clients for several years using evidence-based hypnotherapy approaches, and I had seen results in anxiety, improvements in confidence, improved sleep, and changes in longstanding patterns of thought and behaviour. I discovered IEMT and became incredibly curious about how this modality could create such powerful change so quickly. In my own practice, I have found that adding IEMT creates much faster change for clients, especially those dealing with chronic pain or long-standing fears and phobias. Prior to learning IEMT, I would typically recommend six sessions of hypnosis for issues related to physical pain. Now, I often see results in four sessions when clients are willing to explore using IEMT.
